Soil Puff Tilts Steam at the Tea Cup - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

Ruby gave an eager, strong pull.

The grandfather knelt beside at the next part of the row.

The smooth orange root surface moved up a little.

A thin earth dust puffed from the small gap.

A thin green smell drifted from the glade beyond.

The puff pushed dust outward and tapped a loose string end.

A short string rested on the basket's worn handle.

The puff went past the basket and crossed the flat stone.

Steam at the cup rim bent and slid to one side.

"It's open," the grandfather said softly.

Ruby's fingers made a small crawl on the soft cool soil.

She watched soft cool soil close the empty place a little.

The grandfather smoothed soil flat with one fingertip near the gap.

The airflow softened, and dust fell back to the soil surface.

The string end stopped bouncing and lay quiet on the handle.

He kept his hand still, and the cup stayed mass-anchored.

A thin curl of steam kept lifting along the cup rim.

Ruby 輕快又用力地一拉。

祖父在旁邊的那段菜列跪著。

光滑的橘色根部表面往上動了一點。

一縷細土從小縫裡噴出。

遠處小林間空地飄來淡淡的青草氣味。

那股氣把塵土往外推，還輕碰了一條鬆散的繩端。

一小段園藝繩搭在籃子磨舊的提把上。

那股氣越過籃子，又掠過平坦的小石板。

杯緣上的蒸氣彎過去，滑向一側。

「開了。」祖父輕聲說。

Ruby 的手指在柔涼的土面上小小地爬動。

她看著柔涼的土把空處慢慢合起一點。

祖父用一根指尖在縫旁把土抹平。

氣流變弱，塵土又落回土面。

繩端不再彈跳，安靜地伏在提把上。

他的手保持不動，而杯子靠自重穩穩地待著。

一縷細蒸氣沿著杯緣還在持續往上升起。
